In their lengthy and hugely successful career, Dire Straits have released six globally popular studio LPs (one of those was their 1985 magnum opus 'Brothers In Arms', which sold a staggering thirty million copies worldwide and is officially classed as one of THE bestselling albums in music history), two live concert albums, lots of big hit singles and they've also had several huge sold out stadium world tours to their credit.

Dire Straits is absolutely one of my favorite bands. I loved them since 9th grade when Sultans of Swing first hit the airways and I was in awe of the sheer talent, unique sound and control the band had. In America, he wins the most underrated guitarist. Maybe now that new good rock bands are practically nonexistent and the "classic" rockers are getting more attention. Also missed in this video is they played LIVE AID when their mega hit CD Brothers In Arms was released. Perfect Timing. And correction for the video- Money For Nothing is on this CD. I am looking forward to seeing Mark Knopler if really comes to Philadelphia atea again. It seems he keeps his tours lately mostly in the UK. I am now putting on my Making Movies CD, now that I am craving Dire Straits. Another underrated cd that is brilliant!

Dire Straits were untouchable but Mark's solo work since has been just as good and developed in several new directions. When he tour(ed) he still did some Dire Straits songs among his solo stuff, and John Illsley also did a tour in the last year or so supporting a book - he played a couple of his own songs and a lot of Dire Straits stuff with a stand-in lead guitarist. Mark and John are still great mates and meet in John's pub in the New Forest (England) regularly. Dire Straits did reform for a one-off gig - John's wedding reception. Mark also did a song recently about the folly of old bands getting back together which eloquently made his feelings on it very clear. Always been classy, always chased the music and not the fame and not the money. And still in his mid-70s is an awesome songwriter who if anything has grown completely into his voice.

Steely Dan is on tour, Kansas is on tour, Neal Sedaka is on tour. These people retired on the royalties from their back catalog. People quit paying for music years ago. There's a little money in streaming services, but the record companies wrote those contracts so the record companies get the bulk of the money despite the fact that they don't do anything except collect the money. That's why Def Leppard wasn't streamable until they re recorded all their old stuff. The record company owns the original recordings, and the band has to accept almost no money to get anything. They said "No." So if you don't have money from when it was good invested to take care of you, you're going on tour.

They wanted him to give them his stuff for free and charge $100k a table just to go to the ceremony. I don't blame him for skipping. Just look up what Steve Miller and Cheap Trick had to say about it.

Mark Knopfler just looks sad. He should make amends with his brother if he has not already done so.

A lot of waffle & unnecessary fleshing out with this video. The reason for no Dire Straits reunion starts at 6:40.

Guy Fletcher has been making music for years after Dire Straits, so they haven’t exactly parted ways.
